a shame this wasn%u2019t released on %uD83C%uDF2E tuesday

150, really? Wow, I've got to get this ...twice.

Interesting, I had assumed that the issues with MS Office were Microsofts fault. But as this release specifically mentions fixes for Office 2016 it would seem that the whole screw up was Apple's fault.

Wow...is that the level of innovation now from Apple that you have to highlight the number of emojis in the headline.

Wow, trolls these days trying to twist a simple software update into something negative about Apple.
